I agree with this. I just don’t know why these things happen.
They also blocked POP mail access and SMTP access like to
pop.hotpop.com and smtp.hotpop.com
Does this fall under blockign right to have access to internet
resources ? Is there any genuine reson for blocking those port
accesses ?
Also if somebody gives same access via http port, will there be
any reason to block that too ?
Just feeling sad!
I just wanted to have an offline access to news articles in
comp.arch.* etc technical stuff. Seems like there is no
way out!

Sify are a bunch of malformed losers. Even the people they outsource their marketing to are misinformed. They call up and say “our 256Kbps line will give you 256 Kbps downloads” I go like, do you understand my question about realistic downloads speeds I can expect about compressed files? He goes like, “Yes sir, my senior has assured me that you will get 256Kbps”. This prick actually started asking me what my “experience” was when i told him this was not possible. Retards, I tell you, stay away from such idiots. BSNL offers zero support, but they don’t make a stance of “We are CCISP’s”. The guys honestly tell you they dunno stuff, and I for one don’t care, I don’t need their support. But I can see how that might be an issue for new users. Point is, they don’t take the liberty of blocking any service for me, that’s like giving me a car and saying the keys to dash are only for corporate customers. Whoever decided that policy in Sify with regards to NNTP needs to go back to school, maybe get out of the house (read south india) more, and understand what ISP’s are supposed to do.
If there is one thing I cannot stand more than ignorance is the pretence of being educated.
